Black British, because their skin is colored, and are British.
Black American, same way.
"African-" implies you were born in Africa, "-American" imples you then immigrated to America.
Elon Musk is an African-American.
13% of the US population are Black Americans.
- dekhn 3y agoAre extremely dark-skinned people (for example from South India) who move to england called "Black"? I've never heard that and would be surprised but i'm curious.

- peanuty1 3y agoThe term African-American does not imply that one was born in Africa. It refers to Americans of African ethnicity (which includes Carribean-Americans of African descent). Chris Rock, Lebron James, and Michael Jordan are all African-Americans born in the US. Elon Musk is not considered African-American according to the popular usage of the term as he is of European descent despite being born in South Africa.
